M.I.A - come out of retirement!
- Aug 19, 2008
M.I.A, a talented act from the UK, is one of my favorite artists but shockingly a couple of months ago she announced that she would no longer be in the music industry. It broke my itty bitty heart! Her music is so unique and different!M.I.A's song Paper Planes appears in a promo for the stoner flick Pineapple Express and it's killing the charts! Paper Planes has already been out six months, but it jumped from number 55 to 36 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is also currently number 3 on iTunes' top songs chart in the US and her album, Kala, is at number 7 on the iTunes top albums chart. Indie fave M.I.A. has never been a mainstream radio darling. Make a comeback M.I.A!!
